Ways users can cheat your affiliate program

#1 Postby glumbo » Oct 03, 2011 3:57 am

Please list some ways that a user can cheat your affiliate program. Here's my list along with the solution I used. Please share if you have any others. I can give you the code to implement what I have done so far.

Using premium account to download files from 1 user constantly -> I made it only count 1 download per premium per day

Jdownloder, no referrer -> I made script only count downloads with referrer

My code does not count referrers with empty referrer or referrer in this form

Code: Select all

/w7adw83awd29d/filename.html
Is that what you guys want?

What if someone posts links to your site in code links on forums for example:

[/code]http://www.sibsoft.net/forum/posting.ph ... =3816[code]

A lot of affiliates use this to post links on forums...

1st: they create 1 page at blogspot.com like http://example.blogspot.com then post image there.

2nd: they create fake traffic with refer from http://example.blogspot.com and earn money.

there traffic from same computer, same size screen (width x height), same refer url, but only different ip address.
